ianovthetoon Posted May 5, 2013 Share Posted May 5, 2013 I'm not sure Saggy Face would fancy having us in the championship next year, as he's gonna be under massive pressure to bounce straight back..... Clutching at straws but its the reason I can see them rolling over next weekend..... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

SiLvOR Posted May 5, 2013 Share Posted May 5, 2013 The collapse that day was unforgivable, really. That was the moment where it hit home for me, thought we've been doomed ever since. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

toonpete1892 Posted May 5, 2013 Share Posted May 5, 2013 Now that Colo is back to take the captain's armband I'd consider dropping Cabaye if Sissoko is fit. Sloppy, half arsed and then all of a sudden he becomes completely reckless and jumps in to give away a foul. Imo the team has been carrying him for the past month and we can't afford to have passengers in CM. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chrisjraby Posted May 5, 2013 Share Posted May 5, 2013 Midfield 3 were all poor yesterday, need a much bigger performance from them against QPR. Hopefully with the same team as yesterday, plus Sissoko slotting in for Jonas (), and we should be able to get the win. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I thought Tiote had his best game for us in ages yesterday playing in that formation. Agree if we can bring Sissoko back in for Jonas and stick with the same front three we should get something. Although that said, 0-0 at half time, negative subs and a late hat trick from Remy, pretty much. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Roy the Irish Magpie Posted May 5, 2013 Share Posted May 5, 2013 Defeat for sure. I just don't trust the team to get anything not least because we've been average at best in all our away games. The team is not playing together the players are not united. It's easy to see when players are playing for each other just look at Villa and how they're playing now and Wigan too. Pardew might have come out saying that's nonsense talk, but there is no smoke without fire and I've seen no evidence of the players playing for each other like they were last season. Array will love to get a win here and I think he will. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
NG32 Posted May 5, 2013 Share Posted May 5, 2013 I do feel a little better with colo back but we are running out of games. Those two games at home to Sunderland and Liverpool were our get of jail games and we blew them in spectacular fashion. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Flip Posted May 5, 2013 Share Posted May 5, 2013 This page People thinking Cabaye doesn't give a shit. The man runs the most for this club and his sloppy passing of late has been due to the absolute lack of movement. I'm not going to sit here pretend I defend players till the end and will make excuse for them, because tha'ts not me. I'll agree he has been poor the last month or so, but when he came back from injury he helped us and was a main reason we were still in games. It's supporters like you guys on this page that makes many of us other lose faith in humanity ffs Seriously, get a grip, it's not hard to see that a lack of shape and movement will cause loads of troubles to a team.

Guest Haris Vuckic Posted May 5, 2013 Share Posted May 5, 2013 Supporters who sit through us getting fucking humiliated at home 0-6? We threw the towel in at 3 down & various players haven't turned up for weeks. Cabaye knows he can get a place in a better team than us regardless and it's all over his game.

Guest DebuchyAndTheBeast Posted May 5, 2013 Share Posted May 5, 2013 I'm pretty confident we can get something based on yesterday's performance but we should just avoid throwing the kitchen sink from the first minute. By that I mean overcommitting ourselves and leaving spaces at the back for counterattacking teams to exploit. We have to keep our shape and hopefully Cissé or Ben Arfa can deliver a bit of magic. It would also help to have Sissoko and Marveaux (probably Obertan ?) as backup once we run out of steam and spaces start to open up Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's easy to see when players are playing for each other just look at Villa and how they're playing now and Wigan too. To be entirely honest, we have been playing well for longer than our results suggest. I think we've won 5, drawn 1 and lost 2 of our last eight games, which is good, but the decent performances go a fair way further back than that. We've also been massively, massively helped by the return to form of Agbonlahor. I read yesterday that we have started with a front three of Agbonlahor, Benteke and Weimann in 10 matches, in which the three of them scored 20 goals. Basically, what is happening now is we are scoring goals ok, but we are still defending with massive fragility. It's almost "have to go for it because we'll concede, we just need to score more than we concede". I am pretty sure that our last clean sheet was something nuts like 19 league matches ago. We are still not safe, though, and that clean sheet problem is the major reason why. The current table is utterly nuts if you look at how many teams are not safe yet, and plenty of them are playing badly. I honestly think you have got to take three points from this game. If you do that, then you're absolutely safe. Maybe being away rather than home will also help you, in the sense of nerves being less of a problem.
